Roof Garden Components

Roof Garden Drainage Composite - CCW MiraDRAIN® G4 Drainage Composite consists of a high compressive strength polystyrene core with "cups" and high-flow drainage channels allowing maximum water retention and drainage. A non-woven 100% post-industrial recycled content filter fabric and moisture retention mat is bonded to the retention side of the molded core to prevent passage of particles into the water reservoirs. MiraDRAIN® G4 has a heavy-duty protection fabric bonded to the bottom of the composite, making this versatile product the key to simplified green roof installation and reduced labor costs.

Reduces Heat Island Effects

Heat islands can occur in large cities where much of the vegetation has been replaced with roads and structures. Urban development can actually alter weather patterns, absorbing significant amount of heat during the day it back into the atmosphere, which causes further warming. Gardens keep these buildings cool through transpiration, cooling the building and the surrounding atmosphere.
